Starting point is 00:03:02 You tell the white people. Real nigga shit. Don't the shit feel good? Hey, lo. It's a thing. It's a professionalism. Yeah, it's been a pleasure. A real blessed.
Starting point is 00:03:11 This is 80s South show. This nigga came in and smelled like weed, cussing bitches out. No, that was like, that was me. That was me. That was me. I'm not about to let you blame that on you. Y'all is. I'm not going to lose my job fucking round with y'all.
Starting point is 00:03:23 You're not. He came into his own. I'm on CBS. And if you think they're not listening and watching it, you are mistaken. And watching. Well, we don't give a fuck. We don't beat. Yeah, see.
Starting point is 00:03:38 We didn't get a little. I like that. We don't give a fuck. You don't get a fuck. We don't give a fuck. We don't get fucked. We don't get fucked. How does this feel?
Starting point is 00:03:44 Well, I'm going to tell you, niggers. I do. That's why you got to show. and we don't. You get that real money. I'm getting that B-T money. I'm getting network money. Yeah, that's it.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Hey, that's the feel, bro. Y'all have fun with the niggins shit. And I'll show up at the award show and accept that. Okay, cool. But yeah, I feel good, man. You know, yeah, you know, I always tell people when it comes to booking this role, you know, I was a huge fan of Chris Tucker growing up. I'm a fan just like everybody listening to this podcast.
Starting point is 00:04:16 I assume everybody listening to this grew up on Chris Tucker. Right. So I understand, but I think it's important for everybody to know I'm not doing the Chris Tucker impersonation on the show. I don't think anybody want to see that. He already did Chris Tucker. He did it brilliantly. And so my goal was doing stand-up comedy for a strong nine years, was just to develop my own comedic voice throughout those years, my own comedic timing, my own comedic delivery. And I think when people watch the show, they're going to tune in and say, you know what, this isn't Chris, but we respect what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:04:46 You know, he's bringing himself to this role. And I think that's what people want to see If it's to be done Yeah That's what's what's up Bring your own brand Bring them on brand to it absolutely So what was it like man
Starting point is 00:04:55 Because I know the show is It's a lot of action Like this is high, you know High energy fast pace So Yeah I mean it was crazy Like I tell me I do 80% of my own stunts
Starting point is 00:05:04 What about the other 20 What about them other 20? It's Kevin Hart's stunt double Get out of it Me and Kevin Hart has the same stunt double What is tiny We look at we both little niggas What does that work?
Starting point is 00:05:15 What are some of the stunts That you just wouldn't do? Oh, it's the opening, my opening sequence is I'm hanging off of a helicopter. I wasn't doing that. Yeah, but, so. Your blackness wouldn't allow you. Yeah, my blackness. That's what that nigga kicked me.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Yeah, that's, yeah. Wait, hold up, bro. So we did, so he, he stepped in for that, but, you know. What are some of your stunts that you did? But I do fight, see. I'm a first, people don't know I'm a first degree black belt. Say, what? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Yeah, I'll bust your ass. Yeah. Pulse, pause, yeah. You'll who'll whoop their ass. No, I don't do that. No, I'm a tough. I'm gonna get y'all niggas straight. I ain't bought all that pause.
Starting point is 00:05:51 If you ain't securing your masculinity, that's your own damn problem. I'm married. I got a daughter. So when you get married, you can just say all kinds of suspense. You can say gay stuff all the time. Right, right, right. I'm married. Me too.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Absolutely. This is what I've learned in Hollywood. I'm going to tell you this right now. I don't care what people think. You understand? Because caring about what people think, oh, I said something, you know, that might sound gay. gay people are cool
Starting point is 00:06:19 if you don't like gay people there's a problem with you that's what I honestly feel I love lesbian I just said that man I love I love Larry I'm just joking I'm joking I'm joking
Starting point is 00:06:28 I'm joking What this nigga He just scratched this nigga in the face He just crashed this Nick in the face He just caressed this But yeah So I don't got time
Starting point is 00:06:37 I don't got time for all that I feel like that'd be holding us back too much worrying about what people thinking man do you man Do you How ever weird that may be Do it Dude
Starting point is 00:06:46 I'm gonna pull my nipple out Don't you better I'm trying to politically correct this Now the atmosphere is all weird So we gotta talk about Some real man shit now Who got shot on the show Did anybody get shot?
Starting point is 00:06:58 I get shot First episode Yeah Yeah I wanted to know Let's more about the stunts What stunts did you do? I do for the most part
Starting point is 00:07:07 All my fight sequences I do There's a scene Yo I just found out It was a scene It was a scene where I had to hop onto a moving boat and then hop off the movie boat
Starting point is 00:07:15 until a loading dock and they cut the hopping on they cut that part out of the show so that was disrespectful to what I did that day but yeah what else just all the shooting
Starting point is 00:07:26 you know are you still finding time to hit the stage with it too well yeah well that's the point well I'm glad you ask that question people don't understand the workload that comes with shooting a television show
Starting point is 00:07:38 especially a series especially a series because in acting there's a common theme that is called hurry up and wait Would that mean they asked the actor to get there early And then you're just sitting around all day And then you don't shoot till six, seven, eight hours later However, when you're to start a show
Starting point is 00:07:51 That doesn't apply to you So I was shooting Monday through Friday 13 to 15 hour days every day No day off for six months And even on the weekend I was memorizing 60 pages of dialogue So I literally had no days off for six months From August to January
Starting point is 00:08:11 So the workload is a couple is incredible and that's stuff that they don't tell you that's stuff that you don't even know until you're in it you know everybody want to be the star of a show and I hear Kevin Hart say everyone to be everybody want to be famous but nobody want to do the work and you know doing a show like that it's an insane amount of workload now getting back to your question
Starting point is 00:08:28 I was only able to do I was only able to perform stand up three times in six months and I was killing me because I'm a stand-up comedian yeah that's what I was saying how did you how did you finagle that yeah stand-up comedy I feel like helped get me rush hour you know if it wasn't for doing stand-up all those years i wouldn't even have developed the comedy chops to book a rush hour you know and so that kind of got to me but soon as we
Starting point is 00:08:53 rap the next day i got up on stage and i've been on stage almost every day since then uh since i started doing this rush hour promotional tour and my plan is if there's a second season to kind of work in my schedule to be able to tour and so what i'm excited about is that this is my first time going out on the road headlining uh my own tour So I'm going to be in Baltimore. I'm doing Baltimore Comedy Factory. I'm doing Comedy Works in Denver. Make sure you hit comedy hype for the date so we can get the promo, man.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Shout out the comedy hype. And make sure you hit Alabama. You got to go to Tampa. Hey, Steve Brown said it too ain't shit if y'all don't come to Alabama. Look, look, we don't get to start on. Ain't Star Dome? No, Tuscalo. No, Tuscalo.
Starting point is 00:09:36 You got to come to Tuscalo. You got to come to Archibald. When you go to the Star Dome, you got to go to the Star Dome, you got to Archibon, Barbecue. You might have done him, low. This I am. If you meet my quote, I'll be there. What?
Starting point is 00:09:50 What? If you meet the quote. He's saying that because he ain't had the ribs yet. You ain't had the ribs. We're going to give you half of you. How about I just pay you $22? Like, I get a $4. Like, no, no, I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:10:04 We'll get Justin Mitchell to do it. Let's get Justin mentioned. Was you rusty when you got back on stage? Was I rusty? maybe well i only i would say since i performed i've maybe only had two to three mediocre sets i think this is important to know too right this is me i'll never really talk about this talk about this with the 85 something about i'm gonna talk about it let it go because i respect y'all never so i'm gonna talk about it um i realize the comedians that i saw working were the comedians that i saw always working on
Starting point is 00:10:39 their stand-up right so that being said you there's some comedians that kill kill kill every night every night every night every night however I didn't see their material growing they was doing because when you get to a point where you're killing every night you know as comedians you can sometimes get afraid to try new material the comfort zone because you like I don't want to try this new stuff because I'm destroying however like I said the comedians that I saw were working where the comedians that was always kind of working on new jokes, working on new materials. Taking them chances. Being fearless, taking them chances.
Starting point is 00:11:15 And so even with my stand-up coming back to doing stand-up at that rap rush hour, all that was brand-new material. Yeah. Like, I've been doing, and I got maybe a new 15, 20 minutes of new material, and that came from taking chances on stage. So I have put that aside, because it was a time I would say
Starting point is 00:11:32 maybe four years into doing stand-up, I was getting standing those often, but I wasn't growing. You see what I'm saying, I was like I had a hot 10 minutes, and you could make it. Well, you used to could make it with a hot 10 minutes. You know, stand-up shows ain't really exactly what they used to be for comedians, I feel. Right. So you used to could blow up off a hot 10 minutes. Nowadays, there's so much, you got the Instagram and Facebook and YouTube,
Starting point is 00:11:57 and there's so many places for people to discover comedians that you go have to do a little bit more than a hot 10 minutes. Yeah, and you can't just be a stand-up comedian. You can't be a stand-up comedian. No one's giving you 10 minutes no more. They give you three minutes This is what I'm saying I'm saying like if you're on a TV show Okay, but that's what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:12:13 Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, you get more time Damn This niggas lost I'm talking about the newcomers He's not keeping up with the combo No, I'm joking. So anyways
Starting point is 00:12:26 So I say all this to say this with my stand-up I've only had maybe three or four like sets that I was like Ah, that could have been better But for the most part I've had good sets You know what I'm saying? And you know,
Starting point is 00:12:37 then now it's time to take that material and go on the road even when I'm on the road when I'm headlining I will still be developing and working on that material and you know some nights go be better than other nights but I know what I'm creating it's not to just kill kill
Starting point is 00:12:53 kill with the same jokes is to create some new material in a brand that I want people to be a part of yeah that's cool that's dope that's dope it is ain't it hell yeah man
Starting point is 00:13:04 you know the stand-up comedians we love to be on stage It doesn't matter what the situation is. And create and take chances. We're going to find a way to get to the stage. Hey, my home boy, Diadre and the belt. Shout out to my home boy, Dionne. Yeah, mine too.
Starting point is 00:13:18 My home boy. Is he coming from Alabama? Where do you come from? That's number three. That's number three. Alabama, he said it to three times. His shirt is buttoned up all the way to the neck. He might be.
Starting point is 00:13:28 That's Oakland. All right. No, that's Alabama there. Your shirt buttoned up. That's four times. Man, my dog, Justin, what the hell you've been up to? man i've been right man i know i've been in the dungeon i've been hiding for a while i know man hey that's why it was crazy when you showed up with justin because it's like

Starting point is 00:14:11 who knew you before you went to LA, it was no surprise. It was like, dog, we saw you grinding getting into the stumped yards and other TV roles, you know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:32:28 Justice, break on through to the other side. God damn right. I'm trying to get in there my damn self. My credit too bad. I don't know how much of that stuff is true, y'all. Shit, it's something to it. I hope it's true. This is me, and I'm just speaking on me so far in my career.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Don't do it if it's going jeopardize your career. This is all I'm saying. People can sometimes use the word luck. Like, you got lucky. I don't believe in luck. I don't believe in luck. I don't believe in luck. I believe, I believe in blessings.
Starting point is 00:32:54 First, I believe in favor. And after that, I believe in it's when preparation meets opportunity. Say that then. I believe it's when preparation meets opportunity. Oh, yeah. And so, you know, somebody like myself, you know, like I tell people, I heard Will Ferrell say it takes 10 years to become overnight success, right? At least 10. I did my first film 10 years ago.
Starting point is 00:33:19 So this has been a grind that I've been on. for 10 years. And more than 10 years, really, if you add in me going to a performing arts high school and me doing Shakespeare in middle school. So if you're adding all of that stuff, it's like 17 years to get to this. So, you know, people kind of be dismissive of the hard work that people put in and be like, oh, he sucks somebody. Because they don't know about the hard work.
Starting point is 00:33:38 They don't know about the hard work. He did that to get a job or he into the Illuminati. It's like, or maybe favor, hard work, talent, blessings, preparation, preparation. Opportunity. What you're saying is Steve ain't got no favor? I'm saying, what? Did you kiss that one. When a joke bombs on a, uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:33:58 What I'm saying is. It is bombed, though. It is a bummed, though. You just cut it out. Excuse me, you're going to cut that one out? Yeah, just cut that one out. Yeah, just cut that one out. Actually, leave it.
Starting point is 00:34:07 So I think so. Let that one go. Which camera do we look at? Just cut that one out here. This is camera one or camera two. The producers, yeah, just scratch that one. Take it from here. Go.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Just what you call it, is what I'm saying. You know, I don't think people should be so quick to be dismissal. I think if you really do your homework, if you really do, I just got loud in here, if you really do your homework, you'll kind of see the what people did to get to where they're at. You know what I'm saying? Maybe not. Who knows? The Illuminati might be real.
Starting point is 00:34:37 They're listening right now. I'm going to get that Illuminati music. Can we get them? Yeah. See, I haven't reached Illuminati tax bracket. Yeah, I feel you. I don't believe in Illamini either. Even if they did have one, they ain't going to let no niggas in it.

When he got on stage, he had a different name. He was by Cowell or something. Cal, yeah, Cal, yeah, he didn't want to be attached to his father. Even though he looked exactly like that. Yeah, I mean, but I was smart by saying, you know, I'm not going to ride his coat tail.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Let me see how the audience really like me or not. And he did his stuff. Chantay did the same thing. Did she? Yeah, she tried to stay as far away from that. You know what I mean? Just the family name to try to build her own name. Her own brand.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Them dudes are great. But yeah, Damon, Damon is a beat. But all those guys I name, man. They're all great, man. There's a lot of guys. I know we didn't. We didn't say everybody. So if I miss.

Starting point is 00:49:38 And you know what? When we're doing shows, we come out to each other's shows. A lot of comedians, I remember when I first came to L.A., comedians would only show up at the show if they was trying to get up to. Right. Oh, yeah, I came to see you and show. Let me know if you got any room. You see what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:49:51 But we actually go. We know we ain't go perform. We're not trying to perform. You know, sometimes we go genuinely just to support one another. And I think that's important to do. You know, people always do stuff for others because they want stuff. in return and people like this what before you even get away do good for the second doing good is what I was before you get too far away from it drop some of those those names of those comedy
